Abstract
Upon receiving print data from a host, the print data is saved, and an image information generation module generates rasterized image data and saves it in a rasterized image storage means after compression. At this time, a time Trequired for analysis is measured. The stored rasterized image data is output to an engine, and a time Trequired for reading out and outputting the data at that time is also measured. The times Tand Tare compared. If TT, a print process is done by generating rasterized image data from the print data for the second and subsequent copies; if TTthe stored rasterized image data is read out and printed. In a color print process, rasterized image data is generated from the print data to execute a print process, thus activating a color correction function.
